HC Deb 02 August 1883 vol 282 c1350
SIR R. ASSHETON CROSS

I wish to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, as far as he is aware, there is any truth in the report of the assassination of another witness in the Dublin trials?

MR. TREVELYAN

I saw in a newspaper that the source from which the information was supposed to be derived was an official source in Dublin. I am glad to say there is no official knowledge, or any other knowledge, as far as I can ascertain, in Dublin in reference to this matter. I will make other inquiries about it.
